Tuna Basque Food

BASQUE TUNA & POTATO CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Cut the fish into large, chunky pieces (about 1 1/2 inch squares).
• Heat the olive oil in a large stove-top safe casserole dish or pot. (I'd use a nice heavy cast iron pot). Add in the onion, garlic, peppers and tomatoes and fry over a low heat for about ten minutes.
• When the onion is looking cooked, add the paprika, cayenne, salt and pepper and cook for another few minutes.
• Add in the potatoes then add just enough water to cover the potatoes and veggies. Bring up to a gentle boil.
• When the potatoes are nearly done, add in the tuna and the white wine and cook for a further 15 minutes All depending you may need to add a little more liquid if it's drying up, or let some cook off if it's too runny. Garnish with the parsley if using.
• Serve with crusty bread and a salad!

QUICK TUNA BISQUE

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients except crackers in saucepan and bring to a boil.
• Lower heat and simmer about 10 minutes to allow flavors to blend.
• When ready to serve, zap your crackers in the microwave just long enough to warm them.
• Poof! It's on the table!
• This soup can be the base of many changes just by adding the leftovers in your fridge. Go to it with cheese cubes, or leftover rice -- perhaps cube that cold potato sitting on the shelf. Mainly, do your own thing!
• Ciao! -- oh, I mean Bisque!
